america has voted....

And the verdict is....
Today marks the half way point in the pregnancy process where Desiree is 20 weeks along.  Wednesday is our week count day.
Last Friday evening, we had a gender reveal party at the house.  This appearently is the new thing right now.  We got the results of the sex of our baby the day after we returned from vacation and had the Dr's office seal the results in an envelope.  We then dropped off the envelope with special instructions to Publix for them to make us a cake.  The plan was that when we cut the cake in front of family and friends, the color (pink or blue) would reveal the baby's gender.
Desiree was quite dissapointed when we received a call from Publix informing us that they would not be able to die the cake as they do not make their own cakes in house.  They only decorate them.
Fortunately, one of Desiree's patient's spouse makes cakes and offered to make our special cake for us. 
We decorated the house with craft projects that Desiree got ideal from pintrest.  We were blessed to have my mom in town from Atlanta to help us prepare.  Additionally, we had a board that people signed to place their prediction of the baby's gender.  The majority ~60% guess male.  We also had a wives tale board to see if what a few would reveal.  6 of the 8 that we performed indicated a male.
Finally, the time came for us to cut into our cake.

BLUE!  It's a BOY!
We received back our ultrasound that we provided to the baker and there is no confusing the question of the gender.  It CLEARLY showed a boy!
What a great party that we shared with family and friends.  A special thanks to my mom for helping us out!
Now it's time to come up with some names.
Give us some suggestions.
